Suited One Gapper

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Marcy Jo Phillips raised and after Bob Koerntgen made the call, one shorty shoved for 20,000. They both called, going three handed to a {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop with one player all in.

Phillips then check-called a 19,000-chip bet from Koerntgen and the {10-Clubs} turn came down. This time they both checked, but on the {2-Diamonds} river, Phillips check-called a 25,000-chip bet from Koerntgen.

He showed {5-Clubs}{7-Clubs} having flopped a straight and turned a flush. Phillips mucked and the shorty went home.

Jill Cloud

Jill Cloud continues to ruin the dreams of everyone in this tournament.

This time she got one opponent all in dominated and held up. Cloud had {a-Spades}{k-Spades} against her opponent's {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and although they both hit an ace Cloud's kicker played.
